Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.

We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I now have 2 kids with phones. My youngest is 10 and the oldest 12.

The 10 year old had to buy her own phone outright before I would consent to the phone and I pay for $15 credit every 2 months. This keeps calls to absolute essentials - usually me ringing her to rearrange pick-up times (or to tell her I had gone to the wrong jetty for her school excursion so had missed the boat and wouldn't be joining her).
